Chapter 594 Warriors' Assembly
"Wait, wait, how many people?"
Even Yuffie was stunned when she heard the adjective "thousands" for the first time.
The impact of this number was so strong that she even forgot to take the badge from Jie Lian, and he had to pry her hands open and force it into her hand.
"You heard it right."
Jerry didn't seem to want to explain much, and there wasn't much to explain.
In order to see General Latan off, we need many, many people who are worthy of him. This is a simple and common sense, isn't it?
"That's not normal at all!"
Yufei was so excited that her voice rose several degrees, her body trembled and her shell fell down with a clatter.
Thousands? You must be kidding.
How can there be a dungeon that allows thousands of people to fight the same boss at the same time!? This has never been done before and will never be done again!
The largest-scale dungeon battle with the clearest record in history was the war of a hundred people in the Red Fang dungeon, but it was only a flash in the pan and disappeared after a short while.
"Let me ask you a question first." Youfei's voice was trembling. She couldn't tell whether it was because she was too badly injured or too shocked. It was probably because of surprise.
But when she saw Jie Lian's eyes, she swallowed back the question that was about to come out of her mouth: "Are you serious?"
Because I always feel that if I ask this question, the other party will look at me as if I am a fool, so I decisively changed the topic:
"How can I recruit so many people for you with only one badge?"
"There are other warriors working for this matter, and," Jie Lian pointed at the lion badge with a strange look in his eyes.
【Lion Badge】
[The token given by Jeremiah is a certificate of a warrior who is qualified to participate in the battle festival. It will summon the holder at the beginning of the festival.]
[Give the badge to someone else and inject magic power into it. If the person has the strength to participate in the battle festival, the badge will split.]
"ah"
Yu Fei even forgot about the introduction and immediately felt embarrassed.
When she looked up again, Jie Lian opposite her showed an expression that said, "You have good strength, but is there something wrong with your brain? Are you a savage?"
The shame made Youfei run away on the spot, and she rushed back to the blessing place and returned to the round table hall.
So much so that she even forgot to ask what she cared about most——
Why did the battle festival have to be a farewell to Latan?
————————————
The portal flickered and Yuffie left the dungeon.
She simply found a random passerby, put the badge in his hand, and then injected magic power into it.
However, the badge did not change at all, not even vibrating. It was obvious that the person who was unable to break free from her arm was not qualified to participate in the battle festival.
"As expected, it depends on the quality. You can't just make up the number. Sorry, I didn't hurt you, I hope. Here's the gold coin."
She let go of the confused passerby and disappeared from the neighborhood in the blink of an eye.
She absolutely knew that those people were of sufficient quality.
In Black Rock City, in a house where no one can disturb you.
Sword Saint Japar was sitting among a thick pile of books, holding a book in one hand and gesturing in the air with the other.
"It's obviously a very sophisticated fighting skill. It would be a shame if it was lost. At least I can use the photo stone that has a lifespan of more than 200 years to record my movements when I use the fighting skill. Maybe someone will be able to understand it in the future."
These books are all the teaching books related to combat skills collected by Count Gerhard, the lord of Blackrock City, and they are now all piled up here.
In addition to these books, there are also several unfamiliar figures.
"I never thought I would have the opportunity to see the fighting skills of an entire country. It's really thanks to you."
"Not only did you avenge Master, you also gave us such a good opportunity."
"I am now proficient in all martial arts!"
There were several other people sitting in the room, of varying ages, the only thing they had in common was that they all carried swords.
They are the descendants of other sword masters who were once killed. Currently, only Japar holds the title of sword master, but the descendants of those former sword masters still exist and have passed down the swordsmanship.
Japar is a protective person and is very caring towards these youngsters. He takes this opportunity to learn the fighting skills of the Warrior Kingdom and teach them.
Although the title of Sword Saint is no longer in their heritage, their strength has not declined. According to Gapar's observation, there are some among them whose strength exceeds that of Yufei.
The essence of swordsmanship is now concentrated in this small room.
"Haha, I'm glad you guys can gain something. I——"
“Whoosh!”
Gapar was stroking his beard and about to say something with a smile when the door was suddenly pushed open. A blurry figure flashed quickly in the room, and the next moment was cut off by a sword from a swordsman who was thought to be an enemy attacker. No, he was not cut at all, the guy was too fast!
In the blink of an eye, everyone had a lion badge in their hands. What the hell was this?
"Everyone, and Dad," a familiar voice came from the door. People looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yu Fei leaning against the door and said:
"Are you interested in hearing something I have to say?"
Also in Black Rock City, inside a luxurious mansion.
Lanler was talking to the recording stone. This was his daily habit. He used to write in a diary, but now he was too lazy to write so he switched to recording.
"I am shocked by what Edgar has achieved these days. Are those wonderful technologies really invented by him? I still can't believe it."
"But thanks to him, the fighting spirit conversion technology has almost matured. For me as a reformist, this should be good news. In this way, Temud and his men will definitely not have a chance to win at the war festival."
"Although I don't like this brother, I don't want to see him lose so badly. I have already written him a letter explaining the huge gap in strength between us. I believe that after reading it, he will understand that no matter what they do in this war festival, they will not be able to save the situation."
"Also, with the technology pioneered by Edgar, the magic in the Thane Underground City is no longer necessary. There is no need for me to stay here any longer. I will go to the Imperial Capital to attend the festival in a few days and will not come back."
"As for the adventurers I recruited, I don't know what happened to them in the dungeon, but they haven't come back yet. Unfortunately, my cooperation with these talents has to end before it even began. The victory of the reform is a foregone conclusion."
Lan Le was about to say something else when he was suddenly interrupted by the voice of the guard outside the door.
"Report to Your Highness, the Sky Raiders Team is back!"
"What?"
A moment later, Lanler saw the returning Skyrim Raiders team.
If he didn't believe in their strength, he would have thought that this group of people had met with an accident and turned to dust in the dungeon.
However, the current situation seems to be quite different from what he imagined, because Luluwo and the others all look greasy and energetic.
"Did you guys eat too much greasy food?" Lan Le couldn't help but ask.
"No, Your Highness, this is the joy of finally being freed from endless torture."
“.”
Lanler and Luluwo had no connection at all, but considering that the other party had stayed in the dungeon for such a long time this time, he must have gained a lot.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hum and said, "Since you are so happy, then you must have gained a lot. Tell me about it and let me share your joy."
“This is actually the biggest gain.”
Luluwo spread out her hands, and in the center of her palm, lay a lion emblem quietly.
They finally defeated the leader of Red Lion City and obtained the Lion Badge from Jerryan.
At the moment of defeating the powerful enemy, everyone just felt relaxed all over. Looking back at those unique leaders, they thought that this was another great work of art from the Senn dungeon. Therefore, even the anger was gone, and only comfort remained.
So Luluwo didn't really do anything like taking away Jerry's hat.
"This is?"
Facing Lanler's puzzled gaze, Luluwo explained everything related to the battle festival one by one, and finally said:
"Your Highness, are you going to the battle festival? My intuition tells me that it will be a grand festival."
Luluwo's voice sounded like a succubus tempting a mortal, and it was obvious that she wanted to go very much.
“.”
Lan Le did not rush to speak. Instead, he closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and leaned back in his chair.
Why does he look so distressed?
Luluwo saw the other party's behavior and thought, what is there to hesitate about? Just agree directly. But she knew that too much is as bad as too little, so after persuading him a few times, she kept silent and waited for the other party to make a decision.
"well"
Not long after, Lanler sighed deeply and said as if talking to himself:
"A festival held around a demigod with thousands of warriors gathered together is like something out of a myth or legend."
"Yeah!" Luluwo nodded continuously.
"And they chose a night with many stars. Damn, I really like stars and night, and this legendary festival is held on a starry and moonlit night like that."
"So us?" Luluwo felt that the answer was already determined.
"But I refuse."
Lan Le's words made people at a loss for words, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.
He showed a look of pity but no regret, and said:
"The battle festival of Ratan is really attractive, but I also have a war festival to participate in that I cannot give up. It is related to the future of the country and my future. So I will not go to the Thane dungeon."
"But this battle festival seems very special. Perhaps the Thane Dungeon will not hold a second one in the short term."
"Then consider it as a small regret that I missed in my life."
Lanler waved his hand, indicating that he had made his decision and people didn't need to persuade him anymore.
"My warriors have all set out for the imperial capital. The flames of the war festival have been lit and will begin soon. Do I have to call them back and give up the glory of the festival?"
He was right, the war festival of the Warrior Kingdom would really begin soon.
The beacon fires symbolizing the start of the festival have been lit in various parts of the country. Countless fighters are gearing up and gathering towards the venue of the festival - the imperial capital. This is a grand event that only happens once in a century.
The atmosphere in the entire Warrior Kingdom is now quite hot!
And if we look at the date and the speed at which Yuffie, Luluwo and the others spread the lion emblem, by the time they have gathered a thousand warriors...
These two festivals might collide!
Therefore, for Lanler, even if he is interested in the battle festival from the bottom of his heart, he must not give up the war festival.
"Besides, my brother and his forces will definitely not give up the war festival, so you don't have to expect anything from them."
Lanler said slowly:
"After all, the traditionalists value war festivals more than anyone else and will never give up."
"And I, after all, can't give up worldly things."
Black Rock City, Temud's temporary residence.
"I want to participate in the battle festival."
Temud said this to the person in front of him.
He held the lion emblem tightly in his hand, and the gloom on his face disappeared.
"I knew it would be okay to come to you."
The person standing in front of him was Yufei. It seemed that she had finished her business with Gapar and left at super fast speed.
"I have approached many people before this, and no one has refused the invitation to the festival. This scale of battle is the first in the Thane dungeon, and it is difficult for everyone to resist the temptation."
"Who did you look for?" he asked curiously.
"Everyone I can contact." Yufei counted and said, "The famous gold-level adventurers in the Warrior Country, the masters who have lived in seclusion, the strong men in the army, and the brave men who have traveled here."
She said a lot.
"There are also some people from the Kingdom of Anor. I gave Leon a badge and he promised to bring a huge army. I can probably guess who they are."
"Oh, by the way, I heard that my apprentice has returned to his hometown to gather people to go to the Thane Dungeon to find a place. I guess there will be many dragons participating by then."
Just by listening to Yufei reading out the names of the dishes, Temud felt the blood in his body heating up. He looked down and saw that his fists were shaking slightly.
It seems that the people of the Warrior Kingdom love to tremble when they are emotionally excited.
"As I remember, you have a very good relationship with Lan Le. Did you inform him first before coming to me?" he asked.
"Actually, I considered between you and Lanler, and finally chose to come directly to you."
"Why?" This time it was Temood's turn to be surprised.
Yufei shrugged and said, "My intuition tells me that this kind of battle festival will definitely come to you. After all, you are the so-called traditionalist."
Hearing this, Temud couldn't help but laugh out loud, and glanced at the letter sent by Lanler that he had thrown aside.
To be honest, when he saw the letter, he almost felt that the traditionalists had no chance of winning. Even if they won the festival, the situation of the traditionalists in the country would not improve much in the future.
His self-esteem made him unwilling to admit defeat, but the reality and reason told him that the warrior tradition could not continue.
The warriors and envoys under his command set out for the imperial capital to participate in the war festival. He was supposed to follow them today, but Lanle's letter made him waver.
It was at this time when his ideological struggle was most intense.
Yuffie arrived, bringing news of the battle festival.
"Latan, from the information we have dug up so far, he is a well-deserved brave warrior. He must have unparalleled domineering power, and his spirit must also..."
Having said that, the gloom in Temud's eyes disappeared.
"If it's about showing the spirit and magnanimity of a warrior, then it doesn't have to be in the imperial capital, right?"
"What do you mean?" You Fei vaguely guessed the other party's thoughts.
"I will call everyone back. They probably haven't reached the capital yet. I know they will deliberately delay along the way because there are many people who are as shaken as I am."
"We have long doubted whether it is necessary to participate in this war festival that is just a show."
He stood up, carefully took off his mourning clothes and put them away, then put on his favorite heavy armor, and a murderous aura filled his face.
“If the changing times mean that tradition cannot continue.”
Temud's mouth corners slightly raised, looking at the sky and said:
"Then let's fight our final battle at this farewell ceremony for the demigod!"
